five hyperfixations in a trenchcoat

writing blog for emotionally compromised people with questionable favourite ships | slow burns, bad decisions, yearning, and at least one guy having the worst week of his life

🦷🩶 hey there! 🩶🦷

hello, i’m dysphorie, and unfortunately i make people suffer for enrichment purposes. 40s, scottish, sleep deprived and making it everyone elses problem

this blog contains emotional carnage, dead dove content, obsessive dynamics, poor coping mechanisms, and the odd moment of accidental tenderness (occasional levity and crack may sneak in when im not looking)

🩶 MASTERLISTS

🦷 MY AO3

🩶 current hyperfixations/fandoms: wwe, aew, slipknot

🦷 current wips are tagged "dysphorie wip"

🦷 all dark content on ao3 is either appropriately tagged in the tags or in the end notes, and this will be clearly stated

🩶 please curate your own experience. dont read something with content that will upset you then come crying to me when you get upset

🦷 i dont write pregnancy, including mpreg, or anything similar. i also dont write ABO dynamics. also i generally dont write trans-specific narratives because i dont feel qualified to do them justice

🩶 if youre unsure about what i will or wont write, just send me an ask! the worst i could say is no

🩶 ASKS/INTERACTING

🦷 i love getting asks and comments! the only thing i ask is that you DONT message/comment demanding updates or to know what happens next. i dont have an upload schedule (or even a writing schedule), and as for what happens next, well your guess is as good as mine lol

anyway, welcome and have fun!

Dont write enough, get bitched at

Write too much, get bitched at

My word counts are high because ive been writing some of these chapters for MONTHS and now for the most part im at the bulk and cut stage. Im not just churning out thousands of words overnight

Good grief

"BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH" UPDATE

Ah beans. So much for no more ridic long chapters. And im still only about 75% done

Also hopefully there wont be more literal months between chapters next time

[dysphorie-writes]

Hey do not react to this post if i should start making fic moodboards again

[dysphorie-writes]

Id like you all to know that i dropped a full very smutty very graphic fic scene i was moving from one doc to another into the chat box of my text convo with my hubstand, and nearly pressed send out of habit. My soul fully exited through my ass but i saved it at the last minute

❌ Is this ship well supported by canon

❌ Does this ship make any sense whatsoever by any reasonable metric

✅ Does the thought of these characters standing next to each other make you want to chew concrete and then break apart a nearby automobile with your bare hands

Ive written the word "shoulder" so many times its starting to lose all meaning. Also it put this meme in my brain:

[dysphorie-writes]

Getting there, im probably about halfway through? Maybe just over? We'll see, i know what else is gonna happen but idk how long itll take. This is shaping up to be another monster chapter 😩

And cos im feeling generous, whats behind the wordcount:

[dysphorie-writes]

"BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH" UPDATE

Chapter 6 is about 25% done! Im falling into the bad habit of, rather than writing the whole thing then going through and weeding and editing, ive been doing it in chunks instead. Almost scene by scene. Also ive gotta get out of the habit of doing almost "vignette" chapters, idk if its what people want to read but its pissing me off

Ill leave you with this lil sneak peek:

[dysphorie-writes]

Doodling moments from the next chapter of "by the skin of our teeth" rather than writing the next chapter of "by the skin of our teeth" leave me alone

[dysphorie]

"HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT (WITH BENEFITS)"

Read on ao3

[dysphorie]

Read "vegas two times" by dysphorie on ao3

"Neither of them really knew what was going on

A strange feeling of never

Heartbeats becoming synchronised

And staying that way forever"

Or,

It was supposed to be one night.

It wasn’t supposed to matter.

But memory has a way of becoming something else,

especially when neither of them hangs up.

[dysphorie]

Chapter 2 is up!

[dysphorie]

Chapter 3 is up!

[dysphorie]

Read "by the skin of our teeth" on ao3

"It was supposed to be simple: just stress relief. No labels. No kissing.

But hestitation has consequences, and Danhausen's patience has its limits. Hook doesn't do ultimatums, Danhausen doesn't do almost, and Hook is going to learn that wanting isn't the same as choosing"

[dysphorie]

Read chapter 2 of "by the skin of our teeth" on ao3

"Danhausen thinks kissing will complicate things

Hook thinks that ship has already sailed

Danhausen disagrees

Hook has a feeling the conversation isnt over yet..."

[dysphorie]

Read chapter 3 of "by the skin of our teeth" on ao3

"Hook is tense. Again

Danhausen notices. Again

Hook immediately regrets being perceived"

[dysphorie]

Read chapter 4 of "by the skin of our teeth" on ao3

"If you're gonna scream, scream with me

Moments like this never last"

Or, Hook says he's stopping, while Danhausen tries to keep things steady, and both fail miserably

[dysphorie]

Read chapter 5 of "by the skin of our teeth" on ao3

"And I've got this friend, you see

Who makes me feel

And I wanted more than I could steal"

Or, breakfast leads to a deeply unfortunate amount of emotional introspection on Hook's part

[dysphorie]

Read "dead men don't need elbow room" on ao3!

David Dastmalchian learns two important lessons:

a) never encourage Danhausen

b) never underestimate Danhausen’s commitment to a bit
